A considerable amount of scholarship recommends that school counselors develop well-integrated college and career readiness programs, but far less attention has been devoted to the identification of concrete strategies. Dr. Moore-Thomas actually delivers by showing school counselors how to develop comprehensive K-12 career development strategies. Her book includes lesson plans, handouts, discussion points and resources. This is a must have guide.— Norma L.
